This is my first set of outdoor wheels and I am thoroughly impressed. Several skaters told me to just use an old set of indoor wheels as my outdoor ones. Yikes! That was the skating equivalent of gravel in a blender. I felt every little rock and twig and bump in the pavement.
These wheels are great. The best way I can think to describe them is "really hard Jell-O". Instead of bumping over every little thing on the ground, they sort of absorb it and cushion you from it at the same time. And as soon as you're over the object, the wheel resumes its normal shape. The wheel maintains its smooth texture without getting torn up. They make outdoor skating easy on your joints and that's a major plus for me.
It's good to have a set of wheels designed specifically for outdoors if you plan on doing any skating outside. You don't want to use your regular indoor wheels outdoors because dirt and grit will get stuck in them and then they're no good for indoors anymore.
